Established in 2004, Algaran moved to Donegal, where it is now one of the tourist attractions of the area. In Glencolmcille, Algaran produces a wide range of seaweed products for Health and Beauty. All products are prevalently composed of seaweeds harvested near Kilcar and Glencolmcille, South West Donegal. The formulation of AlgAran products was guided by a Pharmacologist with a master’s degree i
n Biological Cosmetology and an homeopathic doctor. Today AlgAran Teoranta offers natural and organic certified products, does not use genetically modified raw materials, colorants or harmful chemicals, petroleum derivatives, Paraben preservatives, or carcinogen detergents such as Sodium Laureth Sulphate. AlgAran mainly sells by word of mouth but also takes part in markets and national and international fairs. Furthermore, for social commitment reasons, AlgAran decided not to use materials deriving from cheap Chinese labour for its gift wrapping and has joined the “Irish Manufacturers Fair Trade” initiative which certifies that its products have really been sourced, manufactured in Irish territory (not imported and sold with a false label of origin) and most of the profit is distributed to the local producers. AlgAran decided not to use costly advertising in order to maintain a fair price for its products and render them accessible to everyone. Per acquisti dall'Italia, rivolgersi a:
